Another storm seems to be approaching over world football. French investigative journalist Romain Molina has announced the publication of an investigation that, according to him, could reveal one of the biggest scandals in recent years.
In a post on social media, Molina claims that what he calls the “Argentine football mafia” is at the center of the investigation, adding that the case has been kept secret by FIFA. However, he has not yet published any documents, evidence or concrete details to support these claims.
The journalist’s warning has sparked numerous reactions on social networks and sports media, while the full investigation is expected to be published in the coming hours.
Molina’s statements come at a delicate moment for Argentine football. According to reports in Argentine media, including La Nación, the FBI and federal prosecutors in Florida are investigating financial transactions linked to the Argentine Football Association (AFA). The suspicions relate to money laundering, wire fraud and tax evasion, while reports speak of the circulation of hundreds of millions of dollars through shell companies. However, there have been no official conclusions or confirmed charges so far.
At the same time, Argentina has also been embroiled in sporting controversy during the 2026 World Cup, as several refereeing decisions in matches against Cape Verde and Egypt have prompted accusations of favoritism.
However, up to this stage there is no official confirmation that the investigation announced by Molina is related to the financial investigations against the AFA or the refereeing controversies at the 2026 World Cup. The content of the file still remains unknown.
If the French journalist’s allegations are supported by concrete evidence, Argentine football could face one of the biggest scandals in recent years. Until then, everything remains at the allegations stage and the full investigation is awaited.
